Today is Chris’ birthday! His family sent him a care package that included a couple of books and a shirt. As I’ve said, I’ve already given him a present, but I wanted to get him one more thing. The thing is that he won’t let me. He’s concerned with present inflation. If I spend X amount of money this year, then I will spend X + Y amount next year. I told him I can buy whatever I want!

But there isn’t anything else he wants. There aren’t any books that he’s interested in and we’ve already picked up all the games that he wants. He says I can treat him to a yogurt, but that’s not a good gift. That’s more like something you do on your birthday.
